Northfield's #4 brochure: [http://northfieldwoodworking.com/Brochures-PDF/TiltingArborVarietySaws.pdf]

==Technical Information:==

===Arbor, motor, wrenches, etc.:===
* 1" arbor nut takes a 1 5/8" wrench (1961 machine)
* 1 1/8" arbor nut takes a 1 11/16" wrench (1971 machine, believe 1 1/8" is "standard")
